Transient Ischaemic Attack - a mini stroke I have a very small part of my left frontal lobe missing as it was starved of blood by a tiny clot. it coased a loss o inteligable speech for a few minutes and in the longer term I have occasional trouble finding the right word, though most of the time I'm OK, its when I am tired it is more noticable, and I lost the use of my hands, they felt like they had pork sausages for fingers and I could not pick things up for a couple of days. playing the harp helped get them moving. Its like a warning and Yes I did take heed. Have lost almost a stone since beginning of July, which will help when they cut the lump out too.
I feel lucky, lets hope I'm right!
Cheers, Lucy
